REVIEW:

Go Canada!This book is filled with so many wonderful stories about how great Canada is, and how wonderful the people are that live there. Made me proud to be Canadian reading some the stories of community, helping one another while expecting nothing in return. It restored my faith in humanity a bit. I also loved there was famous names, like one story was by NHL legend, Vince Lecalvier. Reading his coming up story, and reading some of the quotes by hockey greats I love like Wendel Clark and Bobby Orr, really made my day. Anytime is the right time for anything hockey.Yup, I'm Canadian.This story is a great tribute to this wonderful land and its citizens, but also inspirational to be a better Canadian in this great nation.5/5

Sounds like a fun read, Freda. I remember shooting over to Canada from Michigan to see my friend. When I got there it was late at night and the snow drifts were as tall as me. She answered the door in her bathing suit! Had many splendid times there.

Plus there is nothing wrong with Christmas cheer in February.

REVIEW:A superbly made movie!!Seriously, the scenes were pretty phenomenal. It made for some pretty intense moments along the way. The space scenes were incredible. I loved how much real footage they used as well.I thought I knew a lot about the moon landing of '69, though it was 8 years before my time.

Had no idea he was up in the atmosphere so many times before the famous landing, but alas, he was.
